new england primitive skills

i know its a bit early but i figured id get a bit of a head count on how many of ya are coming down this year. we are also changing the format a bit . its gonna have a shoot set up of 20 or so novelty shots rather than a full blown competitive shoot. for those of ya not familiar with novelty shots read it as "bring a lot of arrows". its also gonna be more laid back this year (sorry deneen :) ). anybody who has something to share is welcome to show it off and teach it to others. the club itself h… Continue

Jamie,
I'm driving to vermont Friday morning and I can stop by the club around 9 or 10am. Will it be open?

Great!!.
Do you mind if I bring my compound bow? Or do you want to keep it all primitive? I acquired some hickory and a drawknife so I'm going to do some work on my 1st bow. Last year I broke the stave I was working on.

I'm at Johnny's seeds for a while. Heirloom tomatoes are big. I can get seeds for older packets of seeds with less then the high germination rate that is the standard, and plan on starting an heirloom tomato garden. Anyone else interested?

A lot of hard core no necked nugs gave Dakota grief for this one because it wasn't "survival", but it is a great way to share skills. Dakota has a sever form of dyslexia, he can't read, coupled with tourrette's syndrom. We have had to find creative…

Mike replied to Dave's discussion 'Acorn question'
It does. Remember that the tannic acid actually curdles the protiens i the skin, including internally. This creates the astringency, and also produces a biological "band aid" of a layer of your own tanned hide. I used tannic acid wash from Oak galls…

Wet wood ash, used as a paste and rinsed qickly to avoid chemical burns (prolonged direct contact over a minute) is a great way to remove pitch and other hard to get off yer skin adherents.
